Bench Gordon, Put him back as 6th man Options

[rangercal]

Seriously... I Love Gordon.. However, the Bulls struggle when their opponent has 2 above average offensive Guards in their backcourt. Gordon can't get through screens on time, and is too weak on D to make up for the size advantage. Plus, he isn't a weapon on Offense when faced against a big backcourt.


Gordon Should ONLY play when ONE of Rip or Billups is on the Bench.
(maybe that could get him 15-20 mins and be a real spark plug in that short time span ie how Cedric Ceballos had a role with Phoenix during the early stages of his career.)

Any other team, Start Gordon. Against Detroit? 6th Man .

A Lineup I would Love to see:


Wallace-C
Prown-PF
Thomas-SF
Deng-SG
Hinrich-PG


Thoughts?
Anyone else have Ideas?

I can't believe the overconfidence you guys have in Tyrus Thomas right now.

Its not so much confidence in Tyrus as it is lack of confidence in our other options. Nocioni is playing cosmically bad. Just awful. I don't know if his plantar facitis is acting up or if the month or two without practice is finally catching up to him.... The other reasonable option is PJ Brown, who has looked really old. And for some damn reason he is passing out of open looks. That leaves us with Sweetney, Allen, or Kryhapa... I'm not even going to bother with them.... or a 3 guard lineup.

Personally I want Skiles to keep running out PJ, but I can understand why someone would rather see an unknown quality like Tyrus out there.
